k1mu has created a USABLE root tool for the RAZR M, originally intended on the Samsung S4.

Low and behold it works on our latest firmware 98.30.1, 9.8.1Q-94-1.

There are many others that have confirmed that this works as well as me.

<MOD EDIT> Visit the original thread HERE
Credits go to k1mu.

Make sure the device is connected via USB to a computer and make sure USB debugging is enabled.
Simply unzip, and run the .bat file and follow the instructions.
Good luck!

I don't get it. Are you going to keep your attachment in sync with his? He has updated 16 times in a year.
Plus an update is due anytime for us in particular.

Do not take me wrong, I am the king of attachment whores, but I could not help pointing out a key issue here.

I agree. Without the detailed directions in the original post in the VZ S4 forum, important directions to make this work is lost.

For example, I'm going to be posting directions this weekend that will allow this to work on a number of devices without using adb.

I'm trying to make this better, run on more devices, make it faster, etc... I can't be managing snapshots all over the forums.

Yeah, I know, it's exiting to have root. Let's not complicate it unnecessarily.

Because the droid maxx/ultra/mini got kit kat in mid December. If you go to their site and go to the update page we are next to get it considering all other high end or 'newer' phones have got it

Thanks RikRong for saying that. Noone has mentioned that so far cause everyones excited about root. Root aint much if you still have to use SafeStrap. I runnign what my M originally came with and im hoping the Kit Kat update doesnt re-lock it.

I figured people would probably still ask about the BL. However, you can still do a lot of tweaking on the stock ROM if you are rooted.
